Yup. And you know what he'd think of burning $80 worth of gas to get it

Hed think you were nutz.
If memory serves me correctly, he sold the house in NJ and bought a mansion right on the beach in fort lauterdale. Tarpon and Marlin were his fish of choice down there.. Then stripers in maine in the summer..
Some more Nebe family trivia is that my grandfather (the guy in the photo's son) spent a lot of time on Cuttyhunk in the summer and helped steve baldwin build the striped bass weather vane for the cuttyhunk church. Steve made the fish and my grandfather designed the metal. Theres another weather vane identical to the cuttyhunk one in newport on lands end point.
My dad also chased bass from time to time, so Nebe is the 4th generation of striper hounds in the family

I wonder what he would think of Perth Amboy now? 4 generations is wild. I know I fish the same Jetties my grandfather fished.

I think he would feel like the crying indian.

Nebe, nice pic. Great family history there.

If you can take some advice from an "old guy", talk to your living relatives to get and write down as much family history as possible.
A time will come when you will want to preserve it for your kids.

I have been doing alot of that lately. Here is more nebe trivia- my 15th great grandfather settled at horton point near southhold long island in the 1600's.. his house is still there.
correction- after googling barnabas horton.. the farm is still there, but before his house was torn down in 1870, it was the oldest standing house in the country.. wow.

I can come close to that:


According to Schenck family tradition, Jan Martense Schenck, the man who built this house, arrived in New Netherland in 1650. He is first documented in Flatlands in 1660. On December 29, 1675, he purchased the land on which he built the house, along with a half interest in a nearby gristmill. The house was probably in place by 1675.

The Schenck family owned the house for three generations, finally selling it in 1784. Beginning in the 1920s, as real-estate development increased, a number of preservation plans that might have maintained the house on site were put forward but were never realized. Finally in 1952, the Brooklyn Museum made a commitment to save the house, dismantled it, and stored it for about ten years until plans to install it in the Museum were finalized. The house was opened to the public in 1964.
That would be on my mothers side, the other side I am second and third generation Norwegian and Swedish respectively.

Great pic and great history.
Please tell us more.
It is very humbling to stand and fish the same shores as our ancestors.
Thanks Nebe.

Thats all I have that i think would interest anyone here-
oh.. this might interest some- My grandfather designed the submarine nets that closed up narragansett bay in wwII.. He was the production manager at a quarry in Mass and invented a giant wire saw to cut granite slabs out of the cliffs.. because of this, the quarry had wire making abilities and won the contract to design/build the nets.
The nets were at bend boat basin in portsmouth for a long long time laying in a huge pile and I think they still may be there-
